This boat that sailed in the middle of the night made Jiu Bian Old Dao feel a little surprised. He stared at the boat intently, as well as the old man with white hair flying on the boat.
The boat was traveling neither fast nor slow. The river breeze that night was very strong, and the roaring wind blew across the river, mixed with a little bit of river water and sand. When the boat got closer, the eyes of the Old Nine Bian Dao stopped for a while. He didn't know if he was looking at the dizzy eyes, because the gray-haired old man on the boat disappeared in an instant. Instead, it seemed to be a lean man. Middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was still standing where the white-haired old man was standing, and the boat continued to move towards this side. When a swift river breeze blew by again, the old road of the nine changes felt that his eyes seemed a little useless at this moment. He was convinced that he had been watching intently, but when he put on the middle-aged man, he became A green youth.
The boat was still approaching, and the Nine-Benchang Old Road had already developed a deep guard. He stood up on the river beach and continued to stare at the boat unblinkingly.
The boat was moving, and the river breeze was still roaring. When the boat really moved closer, Jiu Bian Old Road only felt his eyes flashed, and the green boy on the boat had disappeared.
He suddenly heard a crying sound, which was obviously made by a newborn baby. It can be seen from the old road of the nine changes, on the deck of the bow, there is a small bamboo basket, and a baby is placed in the bamboo basket.
It was freezing cold, and the baby's cry seemed to suppress the whistling wind and kept coming. The Old Road of the Nine Changes came closer. This time, his eyes didn't seem to be blooming, and there was indeed a baby in the bamboo basket on the bow.
This incident was a little weird, but the old way of nine changes saw the baby in the swaddle, so he couldn't sit back and watch. In such a cold day, if he left it alone, the baby would definitely not survive.
With this idea in mind, the Old Nine Bian Dao boarded the ship from the ship that had been docked on the shore and picked up the bamboo basket. Such a big boat, empty ****, there seems to be no one else except this baby.
The old way of nine changes was lost for a while and didn't know what to do. When he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a noise in the cabin. Jiu Bian Lao Dao took a look at the cabin door, and when his gaze penetrated through the door crack, a light suddenly lit up in the cabin.
It was a very bright oil lamp. Seeing the light suddenly turned on, the old man of the Nine Faculty knew that there must be someone in the cabin.
He held the baby in his swaddle and got in through the hatch. The cabin was empty, and at the same time as the old road of Jiu Bian came down, I could see a coffin in the middle of the cabin at a glance.
It is a very rare coffin. The coffin can't tell what it is, but the wood shines with a golden luster. Around the coffin, there are patterns inlaid with gold threads and embellished with pearls and jade. A coffin is precious and priceless.
Nine Bian Old Road has experienced in his lifetime, but he has never heard of such a coffin.
When Jiu Bian Lao Dao's eyes were attracted by the coffin, a strange sound suddenly came from the coffin. When I first heard that sound, I couldn't really hear what it was, but as long as I listened carefully, I would feel that it was like a human voice.
The Old Way of the Nine Changes is very surprised, but he doesn’t have much fear, he
A lifetime is not in vain.
What happened after that was beyond the expectation of the Old Way of the Nine Changes. There was a voice from the coffin, but there was no dangerous aura. After that, the voice in the coffin actually began to talk with the old nine-bian Dao.
Jiu Bian Lao Dao immediately wanted to clarify what was in front of him, so he asked and answered questions and chatted with the voice in the coffin for a while. At this time, the voice in the coffin entrusted Jiu Bian Lao Dao with one thing to send out the baby in the swaddle.
The Old Road of the Nine Changes hadn't responded yet, and the voice in the coffin promised him some benefits first. The other party said that the fate of the old way of nine changes is good, and the longevity is also long, and you can live to ninety-nine years old.
When I heard the old way of nine changes, I knew that the voice in the coffin was not nonsense, because according to his own deduction, the result was the same. He was ninety-nine years old and could not cross the 100-year-old hurdle. It was for this reason that the Nine Changes Old Dao gave birth to the plan to travel around the world.
The voice in the coffin told Jiu Bian Dao that if he helped send the child out, in return, he could make the Jiu Bian Dao live one more life.
At that time, the old way of nine changes did not know what it meant to live one more life. However, he felt that this matter was full of strangeness from beginning to end. Jiubian Lao Dao is a poor baby in the infant, the child is still very young, it is estimated that he has just been born, looking at the white and fat, very gratifying. But he still had concerns in his heart.
Maybe the voice in the coffin also knew that the Old Nine Bian Dao had concerns, and the other party did not force the Old Nine Bian Dao, but told him that if he refused to help the child survive, let him put the swaddling back into the bamboo basket on the bow. Here, find someone else.
If the other party threatens and lures, the Nine-Bian Old Dao may be completely suspicious and repulsive. But when the other party says this, the heart of the Nine-Ben Old Dao will be softened. At that moment, he put all his thoughts and worries behind, and promised to leave the child behind. Send him to a household that can adopt him.
At this time, the voice in the coffin said again that he didn’t need to deliberately find a household that needed to adopt a child. He would let the Jiubian Old Road leave from here and walk north, until he was hungry and thirsty and couldn’t walk anymore. , Send your child to the nearest village or town, and find someone to adopt.
The Nine Changed Old Road feared that staying here for a long time would put the child in danger, so he immediately prepared to leave after listening. Although Jiu Bian Lao Dao didn't know who the voice in the coffin was, he still knew that no matter who it was, he would definitely not be a general generation who could afford such a coffin.
When the Old Nine Bian Dao was about to leave the cabin, the voice in the coffin said that he would never break his promise. If he said that he would let the Old Nine Bian Dao live one more life, his words must count. He asked the Old Way of the Nine Changes to come back to this place before the end of his life.
Nine Bian Old Road didn't think much, he was just thinking that he could keep this child alive. Jiu Bian Old Road took the child ashore, temporarily dispelling the plan of wandering, and wanted to put the child down first.
He is an old man with a newborn child, and he walks northward constantly, all the way is difficult, and his words are difficult to express. After leaving for about ten days, Jiubian Old Road tried to find a way on the road to get some rice oil for the children from millet porridge. The baby in the swaddle is very healthy, can eat and sleep
, And rarely cry.
Ten days later, there was a heavy snowfall, and the Jiubian Old Road hadn't eaten or slept for two or three days. When it snowed, he was already quite sleepy.
He didn't know if there would be villages and towns along the way, he just kept moving forward. When the snow was heavy, he really saw a small village in the vast snow.
At this moment, the usually quiet child suddenly started crying. The Jiubian Old Road coaxed the child while walking towards the village. When he got closer to the village, the child stopped crying.
The unknown Taoist priest was talking, and I listened to what I didn't say a word. When he said this, without any extra explanation, I also knew that he must have walked to my small village.
He held the child and entered the village in the heavy snow. When he entered the village, the child who had stopped crying suddenly started crying again, crying very much. The old way of nine changes does not necessarily have to send the children to this village. It’s just that after such a heavy snowfall, he was too sleepy. He also wondered whether he could spend the night in the firewood house in the village and then get it for the children. A little bit of food.
But the night was already very deep, and every household was littered with black lights. It was the first time that the Jiubian Old Road came here, and I didn't know who to knock on the door. As he walked, the child cried and kept crying. When he walked outside the courtyard of a family, the child suddenly stopped crying for no reason.
The family’s yard was also dark with lights, and the old path of the Nine Changes was standing outside the yard. The child did not cry. As long as he was ready to go, the child cried immediately. After trying this twice, the old path of the nine changes was also a little confused.
It's just that he believes that some things in this world have cause and effect, and destiny. For example, if he met this child, it was a kind of fate in itself.
It was at this moment that the old Nine Bian Dao gave birth to the idea of sending the child to this village, but he couldn't make up his mind. After getting along for more than ten days, he felt that this child was pitiful and well-behaved, and when he was about to send the child out, he felt very reluctant to give up.
The old way of nine changes gave birth to this idea, but he didn't move for the time being. He felt that now he suddenly knocked on the door of someone's house and said that he was going to send a child. It was too late for people to fear. Therefore, the old way of nine changes wants to wait until dawn.
It was cold and the snow was heavy. Jiubian Old Road wears clothes made of Jiubian silk. He hugs the child next to his body and warms the child while thinking about it.
After standing for a while, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and a local villager looked out from the half-open courtyard door.
This may be another unspeakable fate.
The old way of nine changes gave the child to this family. When parting, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he handed over his nine change silk clothes.
He didn't say much, because he knew nothing about the origin of the child himself, he was just trying to save the child's life.
"This is the cause and effect of this incident." After the unnamed Taoist finished speaking, he said, "I will tell you everything that is true."
I just felt uncomfortable all over. I thought that if I found the Old Way of the Nine Changes, this matter would come to light. However, I only knew a little about the origin of the Old Way of the Nine Changes.
"Dao Master, who was the person who entrusted me to you back then? Did you see it again?"
